When soldiers fought in Afghanistan, they were told to keep their religious views hidden so as not to offend Muslims. Consider this incident from 2009 that got very little media attention compared to the treatment of a Koran by soldiers: “Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that

I’m not much of a beer drinker. If the beer is really cold and I’m really thirsty, I might drink half a bottle. I have friends who like to drink beer. I even have a son who actually makes his own beer. I haven’t heard many of my beer drinking

For the past several weeks Senate majority leader “Dirty” Harry Reid has been trying to tell the “truth” about the Unaffordable Care Act, or Obamacare. I say trying because Reid wouldn’t know the truth if he passed it on the street. Of course we’ve now heard his truth telling on

The Eighth of the Ten Commandments is, “Thou shalt not steal” (Ex. 20:15; 21:16; Lev. 9:13; Matt. 19:18; Rom. 13:9). The law regarding stealing in Leviticus 19:11 is interesting: “You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.” The “deal falsely” prohibition caught my attention since our

President Obama has done more damage to the Constitution than any president in history. It’s not that other presidents haven’t tried to subvert the Constitution. In fact, a case could be made that nearly every president has in some way violated his oath of office. But Obama’s presidency is different.

In a floor speech yesterday, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from Texas, said that the U.S. Constitution to be 400 years. Here’s what she said: “Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to

Never apologize to anyone if you didn’t do anything wrong. Parents often make the mistake of forcing their children to apologize for something their child never did in order to keep the peace. It never works. If you have to go through life apologizing to people who have no regard

No, that’s not a misspelling. “Anti-Crist” is Ted Cruz’s description of himself. Brilliant. He called himself the “Anti-Crist” at the annual Gridiron Club event. Politico‘s Mike Allen said that Ted Cruz, “crushed his speech – even Dems said he knocked it out of the park.” We need more “anti-Crists” like Ted Cruz

What do think would have happened if a rainbow flag celebrating same-sex relationships and co-habitation had been put up and later was shouted down by neighbors? Hate speech. Bigots . . .  Mandated sensitivity training . . . Marches . . . Protests . . . Possible legal action. What

Liberty Alliance, a group of more than 40 websites dealing with conservative causes, has made the Southern Poverty Law Center’s annual “hate list.” Godfather Politics is associated with Liberty Alliance as are some of the most popular political websites in the world. Here’s a list of member sites associated with

Harry Reid (D-NV) took to the Senate floor to denounce the Koch Brothers. He claimed that Republicans are “high on Koch” claiming falsely (naturally) that the only big political donors come from conservatives. A list put out by OpenSecrets.org has a list of the 156 “Top All-Time Donors, 1989-2014.” The

Everything Obama and Co. does is to grow the State and give it more control and power over our lives. So why would Homeland Security and later the Justice Department decide not to deport the Romeike family after pursuing the deportation order through the courts where it ended up at

Liberals have a few political patron saints, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy, to name just four. Some might say Barack Obama, but his halo is beginning to tarnish. He’s still in the running. It’s hard for liberals to reject a political messiah that they

There are consequences to what a person believes. Unfortunately, many people don’t often work out the full implications of those beliefs to see where they lead if consistency prevails. It’s one of the reasons we have poverty and drug addiction. Not gaining a skill early in life of work-habit experience

My article “Lesbian Denied Haircut by Male Muslim Barbers” got some attention. I was interviewed by Peter Boyles on “The Peter Boyles Show” that broadcasts out of Denver on 710 KNUS. You can listen to it here. The Canadian barber story got international attention when the Muslim barbers of the

Forbes reports that today’s liberalism is about shutting down debate. We’ve “reached the point,” Steven F. Hayward writes, “where you can’t criticize the welfare state any more. Criticism of welfare programs today get you marked out as a racist. And that’s not the only subject that the Left is trying to mark

The scene must have been horrific. At least 33 people (the number keeps changing) “were killed in a ‘violent terrorist attack’ at a train station in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming by a group of unidentified people brandishing knives, five of whom were shot dead, state media said on
